Question

A force of magnitude 84 N compresses a spring. The spring constant is 6.3 N/cm. What distance is the spring compressed? 13 cm 11 cm 6.7 cm 9.2 cm

Answer 1

13cm

Explanation:

`f = - kx \\ x = (f)/( - k) \\ x = (84)/( - 6.3) \\ x = - 13cm`

Because it's a dictance

So, we need the Magnitude

we will take absolute value:

`|x| = + 13cm`

That's it.
